Business rates - annual notification
Rates are a tax on the occupation of non-domestic properties.
The Scottish Government sets the rate poundage annually and Stirling Council collects the rates for the Government. The Government then distributes the money collected, to Councils, in the form of grant, to help pay for Council Services.
From 1st April 2012 the rate poundage is 45p. Properties with rateable values over £35,000 are charged a supplement of 0.8p for every £ of rateable value.
Rates are charged on over 4,600 non-domestic properties within the Stirling Council area, according to their rateable values as shown in the Valuation Roll, except where exemptions apply. The Valuation Roll is produced andmaintained by the Assessor for Central Scotland and he deals with all valuation enquiries.
